Chambray Saturday.

I had to resist calling this something like cham-brain, although I putting it as the starting line of a post isn't much better.

I have plenty of chambray dresses. In fact, most of them that are have become my favorites, and yet I've really resisted the chambray shirt. I don't know why. I never saw one and thought, yes, I want that! I need it to be in my life! Hanging on racks I never found myself inspired by one, clinging to it in sadness, leaving it behind, united at last in purchase.

But the thing is, lots of people have them and wear them with almost anything. Calivintage, comes to mind. I suspect it might be her that pushed me over the edge into buying one.

I think you can also tell that I was reading Tomboy Style this morning. This is one of those outfits that stumps me. Most of the time my aesthetic is something dreamy, floaty, beribboned or bowed in some way, and then every now and then I feel the need to be bookish and fusty, like old furniture, I need something downright boyish.

I can really relate to this particular post. I gravitate toward markedly girly, romantic clothing, but whip together a tomboyish outfit every now and again. I always feel really put-together and stylish in a chambray button-down and rolled-up jeans; I've no idea why!

Somehow I never heard of Tomboy Style before. Now I am totally obsessed!I too, was doubtful about the amazing powers of a chambray top. The one I have is not perfect, but I do love it. Now I am on the hunt for the it chambray button up.

I sometimes get that....where I'll resist a trend for a really really long time and then finally try it out. I think this is quite a cute outfit even though it's unusual for you. I think it was a good buy!

I know exactly what you mean. I go through fits and starts with different looks. I'll be loving a rocky, edgy look one month and be really into vintage 1940's the next month. I think you look seriously cool here though. xxx
